Bon Jour!
My name is Finley, The Whirl and Twirl Barbet, officially, Sebastien Biscay's Black Pearl. I was the first born Barbet in Ontario on June 15, 2008. I came to my new home in August 2008 in Buffalo, NY.
This is the story of my life and a way for my Mom to continue to create awareness for my great but rare breed.
I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoy creating them!

Morning Routine

Every morning Mom and I rush down the stairs. Well, I rush down, Mom takes her time. I sleep in her room, can't be too far from her! Kolby likes to sleep downstairs in front of the window. He'll let me know if something is out of the ordinary during the night so I can go rushing down, barking at the top of my lungs to scare away anyone who dare enter our home.

Mom sits at the bottom of the stairs to wait for Kolby to come and get loving. Then, we are off. I have to get outside first, it's just how it is. Sometimes, I need to bump Kolby AND Sasha out of my way but I have to get there first! You can see in this picture that I will be the first one out as the door opens. Then, I am VERY happy :)

About Me

I am a Black Barbet, a rare French Water Dog. I was the first born Ontario puppy, son of Alma & Ciro, human son of Paula Ballak, whom I now call Nana Paula.
My mom, Joanne Campagna, has a great passion for helping my breed prosper. She helped incorporate The Barbet Fanciers Club of America. now the Baret Club of America. Her nicknames for me are FinFoo, Fifth Appendage, and "The Baby". I like the last one best :)
I live with my big brother, Kolby, the Soft Coated Wheaten, and my little sister Sasha, the Smoke Calico Persian.
Mom asked me to start this blog to help share all my whirl and twirl antics with other Barbet lovers around the internet.
We hope my life and my antics will encourage more great human homes to open their doors to my future puppy brethren.
